Talking to Children About Missed Milestones and Celebrations: Our Interview with an Expert

June 9, 2020 By From The Editors

Chances are fairly high that you know of someone in your family or circle of friends that has missed a substantial life event in recent months (graduations, birthdays, holidays, vacations, spring break, sports/sporting events, etc).

Dr. Erica Wiebe of Carle chats with us and gives strategies for honoring important transitions affecting children right now.   One of the major things affecting children of various ages is their transitions – not just high school and college, but preschool, kindergarten and many other developmental levels.

Dr. Wiebe also talks about the importance of maintaining traditional celebrations in new and creative ways.  She also gives tips and suggestions for involving older children in preparing their own solutions and ideas for staying connected with peers and traditional activities during these non-routine times.
